My first game (released).

dzosek

Hi everyone, I would like to share my first game that I completed 100% (but it's not perfect ?). It is a puzzle game for phones. The goal of the game is to pass the maze before time runs out. I would like you to share your opinion about the game. I apologize for any imperfections.

Wow, impressing :open_mouth:

Long ago, I did have the idea of programming a 3D maze but never made it. Your game looks really great (is it really your first one ??), I like the rolling Earth and I enjoy the rotation of the whole sky when orientation changes (how did you manage the gimbal lock problem ?).

I'll definitely have a try and send you a detailed report ;)

Thank you. Yes this is my first game that I completed 100%. What do you mean when you write about gimbal lock?

Gimbal lock is a classic problem when you combine multiple Euler rotations in 3D : sometimes, after a 90° rotation, you "lose" one degree of freedom because one axis of rotation is merged with another one and you can't describe any 3D rotation anymore with such a constraint (look here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimbal_lock

I was wondering how you avoided this geometry problem, with the multiple 90° rotations you use in your game for your whole maze.

I was not aware of this problem. I simply rotated the character 90 degrees and the camera followed the player.

Note that gimbal lock is not a problem when you use quaternions instead.

Nice
